What major boxer had the worst chin ever

[GeorgeForeman8]

Tommy Morrison, Micheal Moorer, Wlad Klit, Tommy Hearns, Terry Norris, , Zab Judah,

Tommy Morrison and Michael Moorer both were knocked out 3 times. Moorer was knocked out By Foreman, Holyfield and David Tua and in the Tua fight he was past his prime. Morrison was knocked out by Mercer after he gassed himself out, Lewis in a fight he didnt seem to be into, and by Micheal Bent a highly regarded amatuer fighter who he looked past, Yeah that really is having a bad chin isnt it?

Here is a better list than anybody has given this far. Archie Moore was knocked out numerous times and knocked down numerous times in his prime when he was a middleweight by average fighters. You will never hear how bad his chin aws because it proves how overrated Marciano was, it took him 9 rounds of punching to knocked out a 40 year old middleweight who was knocked out alot faster in his prime. Jersey Joe Walcott was knocked out 6 or more times as well but again just to prove how great Marciano was people overrated Walcotts boxing skill and chin

Olev Maskaev was knocked out 7 or so times and for the most part by hacks, Cory "T-Rex" Sanders iced him, Lance Whitaker, Oliver McCall, Sam "The fat bum" Peter yet he keeps getting title shots. Must be because he is european. Lennox Lewis was knocked out 2 times in his career by one punch by guys not knock for being huge punchers. John Ruiz, he was only knocked out one time but that is because he doesnt fight anymore. He gets in the ring and grabs and rubs against his opponent, The moment he tried to be a real boxer he get wacked in 20 seconds

Of course we have Wladimir Klitcshko, One of the most overrated fighter of all time besides Rocky Marciano. When you touch Wlad no matter who you his knees buckle and he runs away.

OK GeorgeForeman8....say what you will about whoever you want to but understand that when you post stuff like saying Wladimir and Rocky Marciano are overrated then you're going to get on my bad side.


Rocky is overrated huh? I guess that's what beating everyone you ever fought will get you

Wladimir has only been KO'd by big time punchers (bar the Purrity fight and he was gassed out then). Sure his chin ain't the greatest but he has taken some HUGE shots and stayed up...in the first Lamon Brewster fight he caught a HUGE left hook and he stayed up until Lamon followed up on him.


Has no one has said Ken Norton?!?!?! Earnie Shavers as well!

Lennox's chin wasn't all that bad...he's 1 of only 3 guys who was able to take Vitali's bombs

Here is a better list than anybody has given this far.

Where?

Georgeforeman8... this not only goes for Lennox Lewis but for Tommy Morrison aswell... maybe instead of looking at the records of the guys who beat them you should actually pay attention to and watch the P U N C H E S that put thse guys down? If some 250lb Journey man came and socked you one on the jaw I doubt you'd be thinking about his boxrec page.

Why make excuses for Tommy Morrison but not Lewis?

The two times Lewis was KO'd were by MASSIVE shots that he didn't see coming... the guy is a heavyweight for god's sake... style wise not every heavyweight is a puncher but it doesn't matter who you are... if a heavy catches you on the chin with a hard shot you don't see then you're going down.

Roy Jones Jr.

Roy Jones Jr.

Find me one example of a weak shot hitting Roy Jones and KOing him or even hurting him.

Both times that he's been stopped have either been from an accumulation of massive punches over lots of rounds or from massive shots right on the jaw. He was also arguably weight drained.

Not to say that Jones has an iron chin or anything but it's always been trendy umongst fickle sheeple to say he has a glass jaw. because he got stopped twice in a row.

[GeorgeForeman8]

Lennox lewis had a iron chin? Why because you say so? Because he got hit by Vitali and didnt go down? That only shows you how pathetic Vitali is doesnt it? Who has Vitali knocked out in his career besides third rate journeymen who if they fought in the 70s wouldnt even been a top 50 fighter. Vitali ko percentage is what it is because of who he fights. Even then it takes him 10 rounds of punching somebody who doesnt punch back to stop them on their feet.

Mercer was the only person who kept Morrison down and that was after he punched himself out. It wasnt a one punch knockout was it? Lennox Lewis couldnt keep Tommy Morrison down and Michael Bent didnt keep Morrison down. Lennox Lewis got knocked down and stay down. That is a glass chin. Shannon Briggs tapped him with a light punch and had him staggering all across the ring. The same Shannon Briggs who couldnt even come close to hurting 50 year old George Foreman

So if Lennox Lewis has a iron chin then what does Foreman have? The chin of a "God" then. Lewis chin was glass get over it.

[GeorgeForeman8]

Everyone brings up Wlad Klitschko but defends Lennox Lewis. This seems to be another case of trying to make a legend out of a fighter that is retired.

Are we talking about chins or stamina? Most of Wlad's problems come from stamina problems/punching himself out and not being chinny. I have never seen Wlad sparked out cold like Lennox Lewis.

People that mention Roy Jones must have just started watching boxing around the time he fought Tarver. They obviously havent seen much else of his career, Jones fought Toney, Hopkins, Virgil Hill, Montell Griffin all in primes and was never down or hurt.

Good points about Lewis but wrong in the Wlad explanation though. Wlad was sparked by Corrie Sanders. Sanders who career was based off knocking out Wlad. None of the punches he landed were earth shattering but they were good enough to blow Wlad out of the water. If Sanders would of never fought Wlad he could be considered a nobody but to defend Wlad people act like Sanders was one of the most skilled and hardest punchers in the last 30 years. In Reality Sanders was nothing more than a C level fighter at best

Wlad was hurt by DaVarryl Williamson another glass chin fighter who got starched in one round by the overrated Joe Mesi. Yet he was able to take Wlads punches and hurt him with a grazing blow. If you can touch Wlad with a half way decent punch you can hurt him not matter who you are. His chin is even worse than Lennox Lewis.

"El Toro Salvaje De Las Pampas" Firpo anyone?

He hit the canvas 7 times in the 1st round vs. Demps.
He also hit the canvas 4 times in the 1st round vs. Angel Rodriguez.

GeorgeForeman8 and brocktonbluckbust....while you guys try to explain your points of view you just come up lacking in your arguements.

Yes Lennox Lewis did have a decent chin, getting KO'd twice out of 44 fight isn't that bad considering who he fought and who he beat...he was never hurt by David Tua or Mike Tyson.

Wladimir Klitschko doesn't have the greatest of chins, however, he doesn't stay down...also Corrie Sanders wasn't just a power puncher he is also a southpaw which not many people see at heavyweight. Wlad doesn't have the worst chin...not even close. Tommy Morrison got railed by MICHAEL BENNT!

Michael Moorer doesn't even have that bad of a chin....he was KO'd 3 times: George Foreman...refresh my memory, was Big George a power puncher David Tua, definently a power puncher, also caught Moorer at the tail end of his career. Also Evander Holyfield, a guy who has underrated power and a heavy workrate...he KO'd Tyson a guy with a seemingly good chin.


I say Primo Carnera, Andrew Golota, Ken Norton, and Michael Grant have worse chins.

[AdamGB]

Lennox lewis had a iron chin? Why because you say so? Because he got hit by Vitali and didnt go down? That only shows you how pathetic Vitali is doesnt it?

Depends on your point of view *cough* agenda *cough*. again this isn't top trumps... looking at the fucking punches and stop being such an awful poster whilst you're at it.

[jamiebhoy]

Would argue about Bruno having a weak chin, someone here correctly pointed out he could take a shot just froze and didn't know how to hold and take a breather. Look how many shots it took Tysone to get him out of there, ref had to jump in coz Frand was rooted to the spot !!

Errol Christie from the 80's , great amatuer record but crap pro when he got tagged.
